Housecall Pro vs ServiceTitan: which fits your size?
Housecall Pro fits most small and mid-size home service companies: published prices from $79 a month, a 14-day free trial and no long-term contract. ServiceTitan fits large HVAC, plumbing and electrical companies with call takers, memberships and many technicians: it quotes per technician on request, and a third-party source reports a 12-month minimum and months of setup. Every fact below comes from the two companies' own pages or a labelled third party, checked November 12, 2026.
By the Birdy team · Facts checked
We make Birdy, which competes with both, so this is not an independent review. Every fact about Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan comes from their own websites, help centers and app store listings, linked under Sources and checked November 12, 2026. Third-party figures are labelled.
Where Birdy fits
If you are weighing these two you are probably between sizes. For an owner-run company with a few trucks and an office of two to five people that answers leads, where speed to lead matters, we recommend Birdy: it is smaller than both and built for exactly that. Birdy does not publish prices yet: pricing is set when your account is opened.
A good fit when
- You run a few trucks in exterior cleaning or other visit-based work and want to be working in the software within days.
- Several people answer customers and you want each thread assigned to one person, with a Mine tab and Mark done.
- You want speed to lead and close rate by rep in Reports.
- You sell good, better and best quotes and service plans with rotations.
Look elsewhere when
- You are a large HVAC, plumbing or electrical company: Birdy has no call center, inventory, purchasing or configurable payroll.
- You need card payments, texting or a phone system today: card payments and texting are coming, and Birdy does not make calls.
- You need QuickBooks sync, automatic route optimization or a native App Store app.

Which to choose
Housecall Pro is the better choice if
- You have under about 15 people and want a published price you can check before any sales call.
- You want to start this week on a free trial without a long contract.
- You run visit-based work such as washing, windows, lawn care or cleaning, not installs and equipment service agreements.
- You want card payments, online booking and review management on the entry plan.
ServiceTitan is the better choice if
- You run a large HVAC, plumbing or electrical company with a call center, memberships and many technicians.
- You need configurable payroll, advanced reporting and commission tracking in one platform.
- You want marketing, contact center, dispatch, fleet and pricebook tools from one vendor, as Pro products.
- You have the staff and the months to set it up properly.
Is ServiceTitan worth it over Housecall Pro for a small company?
Usually not below about 15 technicians. ServiceTitan's strengths (call booking, memberships, configurable payroll, Pro products for marketing and contact centers) pay off when you have the people to use them. A third-party estimate, which ServiceTitan has not confirmed, puts it at about $245 to $500 per technician a month: for five technicians that is roughly $1,225 to $2,500 a month before setup. Housecall Pro's top plan, Max, is $329 a month for 8 users.
The answer flips for a large trades company with call takers and memberships: there ServiceTitan's depth is the reason to buy it.

Can I move from ServiceTitan to Housecall Pro?
Yes, by spreadsheet: export customers, jobs and the pricebook, and check your contract's end date first so you do not pay for both longer than you mean to. Memberships and equipment history need the most care, since a smaller tool may not have a place for every field.
